Overview

Turing, a research accelerator for frontier AI labs, seeks a software engineer to build and evaluate datasets that train and benchmark large language models. You will focus on Python for backend services, data pipelines, and ML infrastructure, with additional work in JavaScript, ReactJS, C/C++, Java, Rust, and Go. The role involves curating code examples, writing precise solutions, and refining AI-generated code to meet high standards of efficiency and reliability. Collaboration with researchers and cross-functional teams is central to improving enterprise AI coding solutions.

What You'll Do7

  • Curate code examples and develop precise solutions to train and benchmark LLMs, mainly in Python.
  • Review and improve AI-generated code across languages such as JavaScript, ReactJS, C/C++, Java, Rust, and Go.
  • Build automated verification tools and agents in Python to assess code quality and spot error patterns.
  • Evaluate model performance on software engineering tasks like prototyping, architecture design, API design, and production implementation.
  • Design verification mechanisms that automatically check solutions to engineering tasks.
  • Work with cross-functional teams to refine AI-driven coding solutions against performance benchmarks.
  • Provide structured evaluation rationales through clear written and oral communication.

Requirements6

  • 3+ years of software engineering experience.
  • Strong Python expertise with deep knowledge of frameworks, tooling, and best practices for production software.
  • Experience building full-stack applications and deploying scalable software with modern languages and tools.
  • Solid grasp of software architecture, design, development, debugging, and code quality assessment.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills for structured evaluation rationales.
  • Must be based in the United States.

Who Should Apply

Candidates with 3+ years of software engineering experience and deep Python skills, especially those who have worked at AI-frontier companies or hold strong CS degrees, will thrive in this role. The position suits engineers who enjoy evaluating code quality and collaborating with researchers on model training.
